Frequently Asked Questions & Guides
Shower screens are typically made from toughened or tempered glass. This type of glass undergoes a specialised heating process, followed by rapid cooling, to enhance its strength—making it up to five times more robust than untreated glass.
The thickness of the glass depends on the style of the shower screen:
- Framed shower screens are usually made with glass that is 5–6 mm thick.
- Frameless shower screens tend to use thicker glass, ranging from 8–12 mm.
To meet safety standards in the UK and Europe, shower screens must be constructed from toughened glass. This requirement ensures the glass can handle everyday usage safely.
Enhanced Safety: If broken, toughened glass shatters into small, less dangerous fragments rather than sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury.
While clear glass remains the most popular choice, other stylish options include:
- Low iron glass (for extra clarity)
- Tinted glass
- Smoked grey glass
Toughened glass typically comes with a toughened glass stamp or a CE/BS stamp, ensuring it meets safety regulations.
Yes, certain shower screens come with an easy-clean coating. This coating makes the glass water repellent, reducing buildup of limescale and dirt and simplifying the cleaning process.
The lifespan of a shower screen depends on its type and maintenance:
- Framed shower screens can last up to 25 years with proper care.
- Screens with rollers generally have a lifespan of 10–15 years.
If you’re considering a new shower screen or need advice on maintenance, be sure to select toughened glass for both durability and safety.
